If Roosevelt is willing tQ support an insurgent in one place and a standpatter in another, what does his support amount to? Who does he expect to deceive or mislead by this sort of double-dealing with the public?

In referring tor'-'the insurgents Speaker Cannon said: "I don't want them shot, but they should be hated and despised by everybody.” “Uncle Joe” thinks that if tfhev really believe many of the things they profess to believe they should join the Democratic party and quit calling themselves Republicans. And why don’t thev take him at his word and do h?

Just four years ago Theodore Rcosevelt, then president, wrote a letter to the Hon. Jim Watson. lhat letter Theodore declared m favor of the rankest sort of fttaadpaltism. If he has changed tfe mind he hais not told anyone ftUpftt it—-not publicly, at least. P&top* those eminent Republiaft feadop and Beveridge cammanagers, Foulke and can throw some light on

- A dispatdh says that while discussing the various schedules of the Payne-Aldrich bill, Speaker Cannon referred to the attitude of “Bristow and Beveridge, and all of these Democrats." W hy, Circle Joe! Beveridge says herjUands with'you and Taft and SB the | other, regulars • n everything .except tire tariff. And on that the only apparent diffcrence i- as to the mere amount <•? the '’protcqite" graft • tint c* mgre'S riioiiltUlegalize, There is no difference ' between v u at all on cl ‘-• ,v ' u. t should be legalized. TO- be a Democrat Mr. -Beveridge mit-t oppose the graft in into.

Pile statement niage by the Patriot Phalanx, state .>rgan of the Prohibition party, that every Anti-Saloon League officer in Michigan votes tlre Republican ticket will’ not surprise any Intelligent person in Indiana. In this state they both vote and work for the Republicans. Two years ago tire ’’non-partisan" appeal sent out to Democrats by the Anti-Saloon League was signed by seven persons—everyone being a Republican and all intending to vote the Republican ticket. Besides, these "appeals" were sent out under he auspices of the Republican state committee. .

Two years ago when Tames E. Watson anti James A. 11 emenu ay were fighting for their political lives, they appealed, it is said, to one Albert J. Beveridge to arouse his friends in their behalf and also to actually enter the campaign in this state. But Albert J. was too busy making his "special train’’ trip over the country and having a “good time" to think abetut Watson and Hemenway. He could not have saved Watson and Hemenway—lie can not even save himself this year — but he might (have tried. The fact that he would not even try is one of the things that naturally is Wt forgiven by the two eminjgin regulars and their friends.

The United States government is going after the bathtub trust, but the food trust is doing a prosperous business at the old stand, raising prices every day or so, and swelling its already enormous dividends. The tub trust, the tooth brush trust, trie nail file trust, the looking glass trust and such things as that have got to look out for the attorney general- trust-busting goblins. Not so, I’nowever. with the food trust. Jt is in no danger. The government. apparently, doesn’t consider the manipulation of the price of necessities of life —the thiqgs that the people must have as of much importance' But woe to rhe men who combine to raise the cost of bathtubs! The right of the people to live may be left to the discretion of the food trust, but the right to batrie is inalienable arid must not be abridged.

An article in Hampton’s Magazine for August points out many instances in which Roosevelt has allied himself with those opposed reforms of any sort in order to try to defeat men who were really trying to dp something worth while. The writei of the article, however, overlooks Roosevelt's impudent interference in the Chicago city election two years ago. In that election he brought the whole influence of t*he national administration to the aid of the notorious Flusse. Republican candidate for mayor, and against Edward F. Dunne, the Democratic mayor and candidate . for re-election, who was one of the best and cleanest officials the city ever had. dhe many scandals of the lUisse administration are known the country over. And now Roosevelt will come into Indiana and speak for Beveridge.

The recent interview with Governor Marshall prinfed in the Xew York W orld and reproduced throughout the country has attracted very marked and favorable attention in all quarters. It is conceded that nothing better or more to the point has been said in many years. Without a waste of words Governor Marshall Showed how good government may be had and only how if: may be had. One influential paper in commenting on the interview, said: “We learn from Governor Marshall that we, shall continue to have .unrest until we have public officials <who acknowledge allegiance to nothing but

the constitution, and people who are not satisfied with any other kind.*’ And tlien it adds: “No true citizen can question the validity of these propositions, and, indeed. trieir acceptance by •the people is becoming dailv m* re convincing." ■ ,
